    Our little guy is now 10 months old! Though he’s not crawling yet, he can scoot and roll and can move quicker than both mom and dad are ready for. He’s a happy, healthy baby boy who brings regular joy into our lives. It helps that he sleeps through the night…

    Our little guy turned 9 month over the weekend! We were away camping up in Hyalite Canyon, south of Bozeman for the holiday weekend, so we finally got our monthly shot accomplished today. Speaking of camping, Elijah experienced his first camping trip and did great! He even slept through some thunder and lightning storms that…

    The little man turned Eight months this past week! He is cutting a couple teeth and is talking, rolling over and just doing more of everything. He loves watching mommy, daddy and brother Flynn. The latter is particularly adorable as he talks to Flynn when we all go for a ride in the car.

    My little man is almost 8 months old. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by. Over the last 5 months plus of working, I have struggled with being away from Elijah like most mom’s do. I have gone back and forth with wanting to work and staying home. I my mind I…

    Okay, he turned six month a couple weeks ago, but I was reminded that I hadn’t posted pictures on the good ol’ blog. We had fun taking photos of our little guy. His stats as of his 6-month appoint were: 15 lbs 5 oz 24.75 inches

    The little man has been on this earth for five whole months. He’s moving more and more and has taken to standing for minutes at a time (supported of course). He continues to show us more personality with each passing day. A full night’s rest still alludes our little progeny, but he’s getting close.

    Mr. Elijah Powell had the wonderful privilege of meeting Great Grandma over the weekend as well as several other family members. He has never meet almost all of Brent’s and my extended family.

    Searching for balance can be hard. Especially when you add in a baby. Brent and I have been searching for this balance of life, work, church and of course running. We spend our weeks trying to figure out how to balance everything. Then, I went and started to work more hours a couple nights a…

    Elijah is four months old today, so that naturally (at least for us) means that a new photo be taken and Elijah gets his four month checkup. He is now just an ounce shy of 13 pounds and a quarter inch shy of 24 inches. He had some shots, which he wasn’t a fan of (and…
